Queensland Ballet is renowned for dancers who are in top physical shape, but now its new headquarters is just as fit and healthy as the people who work there. The Thomas Dixon Centre is the first arts, heritage-listed facility in the world to be awarded the highest healthy building rating by the International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) Standard. Queensland Ballet WELL project and precincts relations manager Julia Lebiocka, who led the certification process, said they chose to apply for the WELL Platinum level award because it acknowledged the holistic connection between human health and built environments. “Health and wellbeing are key elements at the heart of Queensland Ballet’s culture, and we believe that people are the company’s greatest asset and, as a result, human health and wellness are the top priority,” Ms Lebiocka said. With humans now spending an average of 90 percent of their time indoors, Ms Lebiocka said Queensland Ballet wanted to re-design their new building so that it was not only better for the planet, but for their people and visitors. Queensland Ballet project director and WELL advocate Lucas Gilroy said they were thrilled with the outcome – a far cry from the building’s previous incarnation as a boot factory. “Thomas Dixon was a bootmaker, he stopped making boots in the 1970s. The building is 110 years old. And after Dixon stopped, it was used by different groups. It was an orchestra at one stage, and was used for government stores,” Mr Gilroy said. Architectus Conrad Gargett lead architects David Gole and Tamarind T. (Taylor), who designed the Centre, said the WELL certification was integral to the design which in turn had influenced a better design outcome. XBURO building services engineer Ellis J Wilson said the building was designed to constantly monitor itself, with each section featuring computer panels on the walls that report the current state of things such as temperature and water quality. Rivernet Communications network engineer Gideon Street was responsible for the converged infrastructure, while consultant Damon Fealy was the strategic projects advisor responsible for business and digital transformation.

As we reflect on the IWBI Healthy Building Policy Summit, it’s clear that the future of the built environment lies in prioritizing human health through better IAQ, smart technologies, and policy reforms.
It was an honor for our Founder and Principal, Dr John McKeon to be part of the inaugural International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) Healthy Building Policy Summit in Washington, D.C., contributing to a dynamic panel discussion that addressed the future of indoor environmental quality. The summit, hosted at Georgetown University’s McCourt School of Public Policy, brought together industry leaders and policymakers to discuss the role of building health in occupant well-being. Dr John McKeon participated in the panel, “The Future of Indoor Air & What Policymakers Need to Know,” alongside his colleague from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA), Kenneth Mendez and experts Dr. Rebecca Katz, Linda D. Lee DrPH, MBA, CIC and Seema Bhangar. The discussion highlighted the urgent need for better indoor air regulations, with an urgent need for proactive, preventative health measures. Dr McKeon emphasized the importance of shifting from a reactive healthcare model to one that invests in prevention through building health initiatives.
